My hair and I have long been fans of Zoltan, aka ‘The King of Brazilian Blowdries,’ he’s the only stylist I will see for smoothing treatments, just like with my fellow beauty editors. So, when he asked me to blog for his new site, my hair and I were honored.

For his new site, Zoltan asked for hair news, hair fashion and hair happenings – it’s his thing you see, and thankfully it’s mine too. On this blog you’ll find everything you need to know about modern hair, from the latest celebrity trends and cuts, to the lowdown on smoothing treatments and how to really find your best face-flattering cut.

A stylist like Zoltan that’s a cut above the rest needs a website that’s equally snappy to match. In the coming weeks and months, we’re going to great lengths to make this site as cool and smooth as his treatments.

ZOLTAN IS AN ARTIST. HE TAILORS IT TO EACH CLIENT MIXING UP HIS OWN FORMULATIONS. IT’S LIKE A JIGSAW RATHER THEN ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

SUNDAY TIMES

Known as the King of the Brazilian Blow Dry or the Heston Blumenthal of the hair industry, Zoltan Vargyai, is the go-to for UK beauty editors for bespoke texture treatments and has honed his craft for over 25 years.

Born in Hungary, he started his career in Budapest where he learnt the basics of hairdressing; cutting, colouring and perming. He went on to open his first salon in 1994 whilst also doing session work. He was the Editor-in-Chief of Hungary’s biggest professional hair and beauty magazine Szepvilag.

In 1998 he moved to London to be a colour technician at the renowned Molton Brown salon. He then trained with Yuko Yasmashita and managed the Yuko salon in Mayfair, where he found his true calling.

“My greatest achievement was at the Yuko salon and academy, that I was the first person to successfully perform the Yuko hair straightening on afro-Caribbean hair.”

At Yuko, Zoltan studied the techniques and developed all the necessary skills to become a hair texture expert. His ability to adapt specific treatments to transform individual hair texture became his trademark and after he left Yuko he opened his first London salon, Compton in Soho where he continues to offer his clientele exceptional results.

In 2002 Zoltan expanded Compton’s salons to Covent Garden and Barbican where he remained sole owner and Creative Director for twelve years. He sold his salon chain in 2013, to focus on hairdressing, treatment and product development.

Zoltan’s technical wizardry extends far beyond the straightening techniques learnt at Yuko. He trained in Brazil, pioneering the Brazilian Keratin blow dry in the UK and also learned digital perming in Korea. Always at the forefront of trends, he is constantly refining and adapting his treatments to ensure they are the epitome of efficacy and unparalleled technology.
